Steven reporting for team 2: team made it to the summit of Antisana (18,891 feet). Congrats!!

Hello, this is Steve Schechterman reporting with Alpine Ascents in Ecuador and I’m happy to say that we successfully summited Antisana!

It would’ve been early morning hours of today, December 1st. We were very fortunate to get a really good weather window, and it was really excellent conditions, stupendous views, and we all had a great time.

And we’re looking forward to our two remaining climbs and we’re just enjoying some relaxation in the next day or so. So far it’s going great! Okay, bye.
